“So I'll just move this table over here. Might get a little musky before the concert, that's fine!”

Role in the Show

Dinner Rush

Sam is a fast and efficient waitress about to end her shift and attend Gazelle's concert, that she spent months saving for. She is just getting ready to leave when Flash and Priscilla, arrive at the restaurant. Sam is dismayed but she attempts to serve them as quickly as possible so she can make it to the concert on time. Despite her best efforts, Sam becomes increasingly impatient which throws off her efficient timing with the sloths and her other customers causing her to miss the sloths' order and accidentally mixing up everyone else's.

After Sam gets everyone's orders mixed up, they all call her to their tables, and Gerald rings for her, while she's waiting for Flash to open a bottle of bubbly. Frustrated, Sam snatches the bottle, laments about her predicament, and slams the bottle down on the table, which sends the cork flying around the restaurant, injuring several customers and Gerald.

The customers and Gerald are seeking to vent their frustration on Sam. Fortunately, at that moment, Flash proposes to Priscilla and her gleeful acceptance helps defuse the situation and gives Sam a chance to catch her breath, stop fretting about the concert, and get her customers settled.

Sam congratulates the couple and tells them to take their time, but Flash and Priscilla reveal that they are both "in a rush" to catch Gazelle's latest concert. Sam excitedly reveals that she too is going and they bring her along. Flash is revealed to be a fast driver and zooms through Zootopia, only to get pulled over by police officers Judy and Nick who are shocked to see Flash was driving so fast. Priscilla reveals that they have tickets to see Gazelle and a tense and panicked Sam decides that she'd rather walk.
